Support for Parents Who Feel Overwhelmed, Stuck, or Unsure What to Do Next

Hi, I’m Alexis Landa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Miami, Florida, certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C).

I support parents throughout Florida who are navigating child behavior challenges, child anxiety, and the emotional demands of parenting and postpartum adjustment.

Many of the parents I work with feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure how to respond to their child’s behavior—often carrying guilt or feeling like nothing they try is working.

You don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle. Together, we can work toward more calm, confidence, and connection in your relationship with your child and within yourself as a parent.
